Fair enough with the old one, but this new one is stunning!

Seems every motoring Journo wants one one these too. Looks amazing, all the car you'll ever need.

Haha, I know, I've been told I need my bumps feeling, but the only two Porsches that have ever done it for me in terms of looks are the 911 circa mid 90s and the GT3

 :surprised:

I'm amazed at anyone who thinks this new Cayman is anything but stunning. If it looks this good in gash Yellow, imagine what it will look like it a better colour.  :drool:

A driver's car!  :notworthy:

I want one in red and I'll transfer my 'VW05 RED' plate - Afterall, it is a VAG car.

Very nice, but that car is around 70 grand in the spec he's driving!

I know.  :sad1:

I'd tick PASM, PTV and potentially PDK, as it is pretty amazing. Carbon brakes can get lost, im sure it could be done for less than a couple of £k if necessary. I'd also want the bucket seats and a few other options too, including the audio upgrades. My spec would be near £65k from the Porka configurator.

....So what! If I had 70 grand available I would buy it (subject to a test drive of course). Life is for living.

Much rather spend £70k on a used Porsche (2012 991 Carrera S circa £70k) and not be subject to depreciation.

even get a GT3RS for similar £'s

Typical pistonheads response!  :happy2:

Have you been hanging out there in a dirty hideout?

Depends if warranty, maintenance, servicing costs are an issue and whether you want to run the car daily really doesnt it.
